BRACKET FOR SUPPORTING SHADE ROLLERS AND CURTAIN POLES.

Application filed June 16, 1921. Serial No. 478,044.

1 '0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Gnonen \VoNsowioz, a citizen of Poland, residing inForks, in the county ofErie. and State of New York, have invented newand useful Improvements in Brackets for Supporting Shade Rollers andCurtain Poles, of which the following is a specification.-

This invention relates to a bracket for supporting window dressings,such as the rollers of shades and the poles of curtains. It has for itsobject the provision of such a bracket which permits of mounting curtainpoles and window shades of Varying length in windows of different widthswithout requiring any alteration in the construction of the bracket.

In the accompanying drawings:

Figure 1 is a horizontal section of a window equipped with my improvedbrackets. Figure 2 is a side elevation of the same. Figure 3 is afragmentary vertical longitudinal section,taken on line 8-3,Fig. 1.Figure 4: is a vertical section, on an enlarged scale, taken on line14:, Fig. 3. Figure 5 is a vertical section, on an enlarged scale, takenon line 55, Fig. 1. Figures 6, 7, 8 and 9 are perspective views of themain elements of my improved bracket.

Similar characters of reference refer to like parts throughout theseveral views.

In the window frame shown in the drawings, the upright stiles 10 areprovided with outer vertical faces 11 upon which the brackets. whichembody my improvements, are mounted. Inasmuch as the two brackets of apair for supporting a shade roller 12 and a curtain rod or pole 13 areidentical in construction, the following description of one will applyto both of them:

Each of these brackets comprises a fixed supporting member, a rear orinner body section and a front body section. The supporting membercomprises a horizontal longitudinal guide arm '14; which is preferablyslotted. as shown at 15, for reducing its weight and at its inner endthis guide arm is provided with a rearwardly projecting lug 16 which issecured. to one of the upright faces 11. of the window frame, by meansof screws 17, as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and t.

Each of the inner body sections comprises an upright longitudinal foot18 which engages with the front side of the guide arm 14 and is capableof sliding horizontally and lengthwise thereon. The guide arm isembraced on its rear side by means of a clip 19, which is also slidablelengthwise and horizontally on the guide arm 14 and is connected at itsopposite ends with the foot of the inner body section by means of bolts20 which latter, upon being tightened, cause the inner body section tobe securely held against movement on the supporting member, after theinner body section has been shifted into the required position to suitthe relative dimensions of the window and the shade roller and curtainpole, which are to be mounted. On its inner part the foot 18 of eachinner body section is provided with a forwardly projecting lug 21 uponwhich one end of the shade roller is adapted to be mounted in anysuitable and well known manner. On the outer part of the foot 18 of theinner body Section, the same is provided with a forwardly projecting arm22 which latter is provided at its front end with a horizontallongitudinal guide bar 23.

The front body section 24: is provided at its front end with a socket 25which is adapted to receive one end of the curtain pole and on its rearpart with an adjusting sleeve 26 which is adjustable horizontally andlengthwise on the guide bar 28 for adapting the socket 25 to the lengthof the cur tain pole. After the front body section has been shifted intoits proper position the same is rigidly held in place on the rear bodysection by means of a clamping screw 27 arranged on the sleeve 26 andengaging with the guide bar 23. The outer end of the front body sectionis preferably provided with an ornamental part, such as a ball 28.

In applying this bracket to a window the supporting members 14 are firstsecured to the opposite faces 11 of the window frame, then the rear bodysections are secured to the supporting members in such a position thatthe lugs 21 will receive the pivots or stems on opposite ends of theshade roller and then the front body sections are ad justed horizontallyon. the rear body Seotions to suit the length of the curtain pole whichis to be used, it being understood that the parts, after suchadjustment, are securely held in place by tightening the clampingdevices associated therewith.

This bracket in addition to being useful for mounting shade rollers andcur ain poles the dressings of a Window, it is capable of beingprod-need at relatively low cost and the adjn stnient of the same canbeefle cted easily and conveniently. w
